CENTENNIAL 

International  Exhibition 


GENERAL  DESCRIPTION. 

The  idea  of  a centennial  exhibition  was  first  suggested  by  Prof. 
Campbell  of  Indiana  (now  secretary  of  the  commission),  in  a letter 
written  to  Hon.  Morton  McMichael,  mayor  of  Philadelphia  in  1866. 
This  was  acted  upon  by  the  city  council  and  Franklin  Institute.  This 
suggestion  took  its  first  practical  shape  in  the  act  of  Congress,  March 
3,  1S71.  This  act  recited,  that  the  Declaration  of  Independence, 
which  gave  existence  to  the  United  States  of  America,  was  prepared, 
signed,  and  promulgated  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia ; and  that  it 
behooved  the  people  of  the  United  States  to  celebrate  by  appropriate 
ceremonies  at  its  birthplace  the  centennial  anniversary  of  this  memo- 
rable and  decisive  event.  It  was  deemed  fitting  by  the  Congress,  that 
the  manner  of  its  celebration  should  be  an  exhibition  of  the  natural 
resources  of  the  country  and  their  development,  and  of  its  progress 
in  those  arts  which  benefit  mankind,  in  comparison  with  those  of  older 
nations.  They  therefore  decreed  that  an  exhibition  of  American  and 
foreign  arts,  products,  and  manufactures  should  be  held  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Government  of  the  United  States,  in  the  city  of  Phila- 
delphia, in  the  year  1876.  As  the  act  incorporating  the  centennial 
commission  made  an  explicit  proviso  that  no  expense  should  be 
incurred  for  which  the  government  should  be  held  responsible,  it 
became  necessary  to  secure  the  organization  of  a financial  body  in 
which  proper  powers  should  be  invested.  An  act  was  therefore 
passed  June  1,  1872,  to  enable  provisions  to  be  made  for  procuring 
the  funds  requisite  for  the  preparation  and  conduce  of  the  inter- 
national exhibition  and  memorial  celebration. 

The  said  corporation  was  empowered  to  secure  subscriptions  of 


capital  stock  to  an  amount  not  exceeding  $10,000,000,  to  be  divided 
into  shares  of  $10  each  ; and  to  issue  to  the  subscribers  of  said  stock 
certificates  therefor  under  the  corporate  seal  of  said  corporation  ; the 
certificates  to  bear  the  signature  of  the  president  and  treasurer,  and 
be  transferable  under  such  rules  and  regulations  as  might  be  made 
for  the  purpose.  And  it  was  made  lawful  for  any  municipal  or  other 
corporate  body,  existing  by  or  under  the  laws  of  the  United  States, 
to  subscribe  and  pay  for  shares  of  said  capital  stock ; and  all  holders 
of  said  stock  were  by  the  act  made  associates  in  said  corporation, 
and  as  such  entitled  to  one  vote  on  each  share. 

The  exhibition  buildings  are  located  in  Fairmount  Park,  which 
adjoins  the  built-up  portions  of  Philadelphia  on  the  north-western 
border.  This  is  a beautiful  park  of  2,740  acres,  upon  which  the  city 
has  already  spent  over  $6,000,000.  Through  it  runs  the  Schuylkill 
River  bordered  by  high  banks  and  ravines,  and  its  great  natural 
beauty  enhanced  by  art.  The  buildings  are  located  on  some  of  the 
most  beautiful  spots  on  the  banks  of  this  river ; groves  of  stately 
trees  surrounding  them,  splendid  views  of  river  and  landscape  being 
afforded.  These  buildings  stand  from  one  hundred  and  twelve  to 
one  hundred  and  twenty  feet  above  the  highest  tide-water  level  in  the 
Delaware  River,  and  fully  that  height  above  the  Schuylkill.  Phila- 
delphia has  a population  of  800,000  inhabitants,  containing  133,000 
dwelling-houses,  a large  proportion  of  which  are  owned  by  their 
occupants  ; and  this  number  is  being  increased  at  the  rate  of  6,000  a 
year.  Girard  Avenue,  one  of  the  chief  streets  of  Philadelphia,  leads 
directly  from  the  heart  of  the  city  to  the  eastern  entrance  of  the  main 
exhibition  building.  This  is  a broad  highway  100  feet  in  width,  cross- 
ing the  Schuylkill  River  upon  a magnificent  iron  bridge,  and  which 
was  erected  at  a cost  of  $1,500,000,  expressly  to  furnish  good  facilities 
of  access  to  the  exhibition  grounds.  This  avenue  passes  through  the 
park  in  a westerly  direction,  and  is  a very  fine  drive.  On  the  left, 
and  fronting  the  Schuylkill,  are  the  Zoological  Gardens,  occupying 
about  35  acres ; which  long  formed  an  elegant  rural  residence,  being 
known  as  “Solitude,”  and  rendered  historical  as  the  abode  of  John 
Penn  while  he  was  governor  of  Pennsylvania.  The  society  who  have 
this  in  charge  have  already  made  a valuable  collection  of  tropical 
and  other  animals,  to  which  constant  additions  are  being  made. 
Bordering  this  avenue  on  the  right  are  the  exhibition  grounds.  These 
cover  about  236  acres,  which  are  enclosed  for  the  buildings  ; in 


addition  to  which  there  will  be  other  enclosures  for  the  display  of 
horses  and  cattle. 

Referring  to  a plan  of  the  grounds  within  the  main  enclosure,  they 
appear  somewhat  like  an  irregular  triangle,  having  the  Main  Building 
and  Machinery  Hall  for  its  base,  and  the  Agricultural  • Hall  in  its 
northern  angle.  To  the  north-east  the  grounds  make  a rapid  descent 
to  the  Schuylkill.  On  the  west,  just  outside  the  enclosure,  is  located 
George’s  Hill  city  reservoir,  which  has  a capacity  of  40,000,000  gallons. 
An  additional  water  supply  has  been  provided  for  the  exhibition. 
Pumping-engines  with  a capacity  of  6,000,000  gallons  daily  have  been 
located  on  the  Schuylkill  near  Columbia  Bridge.  These,  together 
with  the  city  reservoir,  will  furnish  an  abundant  supply  of  water. 

Upon  the  highest  ground  of  Fairmount  Park,  a short  distance 
north  of  the  enclosure,  has  been  erected  an  observatory  150  feet 
high.  This  affords  a fine  view  of  the  buildings,  grounds,  and  sur- 
t 'unding  country. 

The  grounds  are  divided  into  three  parts  by  Lansdowne  and  Bel- 
ts- rnt  Valleys. 

The  southern,  by  which  you  first  enter,  is  the  largest,  and  contains 
the  three  principal  buildings  of  the  exhibition.  Entering  from  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  Depot  by  the  main  entrance,  you  have  first,  on 
either  hand,  two  buildings  of  twenty-five  rooms  each.  They  are 
devoted  to  the  use  of  the  executive  officers.  Here  is  the  Custom 
House,  post-office,  police  and  telegraph  station.  These  buildings  are 
to  be  connected  by  a spacious  veranda  with  the  depot. 

Passing  on  to  the  grounds,  on  the  right  stands  the  Main  Building ; 
on  the  left,  at  an  interval  of  550  feet,  Machinery  Hall ; and,  directly 
to  the  front,  the  Jury  Pavilion.  The  latter  building  is  an  ornate  two- 
story  structure.  This  will  contain,  besides  numerous  small  chambers 
for  the  deliberation  of  the  international  juries,  a large  hall  for  ban- 
quets and  international  conventions. 

Crossing  the  boulevard  running  along  the  northern  side  of  the 
Main  and  Machinery  Hall,  you  obtain  a view  of  the  entire  length  of 
the  two  buildings.  It  is  more  than  two-thirds  of  a mile  from  the 
eastern  end  of  the  main  building  to  the  western  end  of  Machinery 
Hall.  The  avenue  is  one  hundred  feet  wide,  and  is  traversed  on  its 
northern  side  by  the  narrow-gauge  steam  railway,  communicating 
with  the  different  buildings.  To  the  west  is  the  lake  at  the  head  of 
Lansdowne  Valley.  To  the  east,  and  facing  the  centre  of  the  Main 


Building,  at  a distance  of  three  hundred  feet  to  the  north,  stands  Me- 
morial Hall,  the  most  elaborate  structure  on  the  grounds.  Passing 
down  the  boulevard,  and  through  Memorial  Hall,  and  thence  down 
the  avenue,  you  cross  Lansdowne  Bridge,  and  enter  the  central  section. 
Horticultural  Hall  stands  just  north  of  the  bridge,  on  a terrace  com- 
manding a view  of  the  Schuylkill.  Romantic  ravines  running  down 
to  the  river  separate  this  portion  of  the  grounds  from  the  northern 
and  southern  sections.  They  are  spanned  by  ornamental  bridges 
five  hundred  feet  long  and  sixty  feet  wide. 

Leaving  Horticultural  Hall  by  its  northern  entrance,  and  passing  to 
the  north,  on  the  right  stands  the  German  restaurant ; and,  crossing 
Belmont  Valley,  on  the  left  stands  the  American  restaurant,  a light 
wooden  structure  with  ample  verandas  ; and  directly  to  the  north  the 
Agricultural  Hall. 

A short  distance  to  the  west  you  come  to  Belmont  Avenue,  a broaa 
thoroughfare,  leading  back  to  the  main  entrance  in  a south-easterly 
direction.  On  your  left,  as  you  enter  Belmont  Avenue,  stands  the 
Southern  restaurant  ; on  the  right,  a tier  of  lots  following  the  western 
boundary,  devoted  to  the  use  of  the  different  States.  These  are 
intended  to  be  characteristic  buildings.  Ohio  is  erecting  one  of  Ohio 
sandstone  from  her  different  quarries.  Passing  down  the  avenue,  on 
the  right  stands  the  Women’s  Pavilion,  a unique  structure  erected  by 
the  women  of  America  at  an  expense  of  $30,000.  On  the  right  stands 
the  government  building.  The  size  and  style  of  this  structure  will 
place  it  among  the  first  buildings  of  the  exhibition. 

This  is  to  contain  the  collection  provided  for  by  an  executive 
order  of  the  President,  of  “ such  articles  and  materials  as  will,  when 
presented  in  a collective  exhibition,  illustrate  the  functions  and  admin- 
istrative faculties  of  the  government  in  time  of  peace,  and  its  resources 
as  a war  power,  and  thereby  serve  to  demonstrate  the  nature  of  our 
institutions,  and  their  adaptation  to  the  wants  of  the  people.” 

The  last  Congress  provided  for  the  expenses  of  this  exhibition  by 
an  appropriation  of  $505,000  ; and  its  preparation  has  been  intrusted 
to  officers  representing  the  War,  Treasury,  Navy,  Interior,  Post  Office, 
and  Agricultural  Departments,  and  the  Smithsonian  Institute. 

West  of  the  government  building,  beyond  two  little  lakelets,  stand 
the  buildings  of  the  British  legation.  Their  heavy  stacks  of  chimneys 
give  them  quite  an  antique  appearance. 

Many  foreign  nations  will  erect  buildings  for  their  own  use.  There 


will  probably  be  some  200  or  250  buildings  for  the  use  of  the  exhibi- 
tion. 

There  will  be  some  seven  miles  of  roads  and  walks.  The  West  End 
narrow-gauge  Railway  will  make  a circuit  of  the  grounds.  There  will 
be  a station  at  each  of  the  buildings  for  the  accommodation  of 
visitors.  For  a more  minute  description  it  will  be  well  to  treat  on 
the  principal  buildings  separately,  commencing  with  the 

MAIN  BUILDING. 

This  is  a parallelogram  running  east  and  west,  1,880  feet  long,  and 
north  and  south  464  feet  wide.  The  larger  portion  is  one  story  high, 
the  interior  height  being  70  feet,  and  the  cornice  on  the  outside  48  feet 
from  the  ground.  Atfhe  centre  of  the  longer  sides  are  projections 
416  feet  in  length,  and  on  the  ends  of  the  building  projections  216  feet 
in  length.  In  these,  which  are  in  the  centre  of  the  four  sides,  are 
located  the  main  entrances,  which  are  provided  with  arcades  upon  the 
ground  floor,  and  central  fagades  go  feet  high.  The  east  entrance  will 
form  the  principal  approach  for  carriages,  visitors  alighting  at  the 
doors  of  the  building  under  cover  of  the  arcade.  The  south  entrance 
will  be  the  principal  approach  from  railway  cars.  The  west  entrance 
opens  upon  the  main  passage-way  to  two  principal  buildings,  the 
Machinery  and  Agricultural  Halls,  and  the  north  entrance  to  Memorial 
Hall  (Art  Gallery).  Towers  75  feet  in  height  rise  at  each  corner  of  the 
building.  The  main  building  gives  936,008  square  feet  of  surface,  or 
nearly  21-J  acres.  Its  ground  plan  shows  a central  avenue  120  feet 
in  width,  and  1,832  feet  in  length,  which  is  the  longest  avenue  of 
that  width  ever  introduced  into  an  exhibition  building. 

The  foundations  consist  of  piers  of  masonry,  the  superstructure 
being  composed  of  wrought-iron  columns  placed  24  feet  apart,  which 
support  wrought-iron  roof-trusses.  There  are  672  of  these  columns 
in  the  entire  structure,  the  shortest  being  23  feet  and  the  longest  125 
feet  long.  Their  aggregate  weight  is  2,200,000  lbs.  The  roof-trusses 
and  girders  weigh  5,000,000  lbs.  Turrets  surmount  the  building  at 
all  the  corners  and  angles  ; and  the  national  standard,  with  appropriate 
emblems,  is  placed  over  each  of  the  main  entrances.  There  are 
numerous  side-entrances,  each  being  surmounted  with  a trophy  show- 
ing the  national  colors  of  the  country  occupying  that  portion  of  the 
building.  Offices  for  the  foreign  commissions  are  placed  along  the 


sides  of  the  building,  in  close  proximity  to  the  products  exhibited. 
Offices  for  the  administration  are  at  the  ends. 

THE  ART  GALLERY. 

The  most  imposing  and  ornate  of  all  the  structures  is  Memorial 
Hall,  built,  at  a cost  of  $1,500,000,  by  the  ^tate  of  Pennsylvania  and 
City  of  Philadelphia.  This  is  to  be  used  during  the  Exhibit'ipn  as  an 
Art  Gallery,  after  which  it  is  designed  to  make  it  the  receptacle  of  an 
industrial  and  art  collection  similar  to  the  famous  South  Kensington 
Museum  at  London.  It  stands  on  a line  parallel  with,  and  a short 
distance  northward  of,  the  Main  Building,  and  is  in  a commanding 
position,  looking  southward  across  the  Schuylkill  over  Philadelphia. 
It  stands  upon  a terrace  122  feet  above  the  level  of  the  Schuylkill. 
Being  designed  for  an  absolutely  fireproof  structure,  nothing  combus- 
tible has  been  used.  The  design  is  modern  Renaissance.  It  covers 
an  acre  and  a half,  and  is  365  feet  long,  210  feet  wide,  and  59  feet 
high,  over  a spacious  basement  12  feet  high.  A dome,  rising  150  feet 
above  the  ground,  surmounts  the  centre,  capped  by  a colossal  ball, 
from  which  rises  the  figure  of  Columbia.  The  main  front  of  this 
building  looks  southward,  displaying  a main  entrance  in  the  centre, 
consisting  of  three  enormous  arched  doorways,  a pavilion  on  each  end, 
and  two  arcades  connecting  the  pavilions  with  the  centre.  The  en- 
trance is  70  feet  wide,  to  which  there  is  a rise  of  13  steps.  Each  of 
the  huge  doorways  is  40  feet  high  and  15  feet  wide,  opening  into  a 
hall.  Between  the  arches  of  the  doorways  are  clusters  of  columns 
terminating  in  emblematic  designs  illustrative  of  science  and  art. 
The  doors  are  of  iron,  relieved  by  bronze  panels,  displaying  the  coats 
of  arms  of  all  the  States  and  Territories.  The  United  States  coat  of 
arms  is  in  the  centre  of  the  main  frieze.  The  dome  is  of  glass  and 
iron,  of  unique  design.  While  Columbia  rises  at  the  top,  a colossal 
figure  stands  at  each  corner  of  the  base  of  the  dome,  typifying  the 
four  quarters  of  the  globe.  In  each  pavilion  there  is  a large  window 
12^  feet  by  34  feet.  There  are  garden-plots  each  90  feet  by  36  feet, 
ornamented  in  the  centre  with  fountains,  and  intended  to  display  stat- 
uary. The  arcades  are  highly  ornamented,  and  the  balustrades  of 
them  and  of  the  approaching  stairways  are  also  designed  for  statuary. 
The  grand  balcony  is  a promenade  275  feet  long  and  45  feet  wide, 
elevated  40  feet  above  the  ground,  and  overlooking  to  the  northward 


the  beautiful  grounds  of  the  Park.  On  each  front  of  the  buildings 
the  entrances  open  into  halls  82  feet  long,  60  feet  wide,  and  53  feet 
high,  decorated  in  modern  Renaissance.  These,  in  turn,  open  into 
the  centre  hall,  83  feet  square,  the  ceiling  rising  over  it  80  feet  in 
height.  From  the  east  and  west  sides  of  this  centre  hall  extend  the 
galleries,  each  98  feet  long,  48  feet  wide,  and  33  feet  high.  These 
galleries  with  the  centre  hall  form  a grand  hall  2S7  feet  long  and  83 
feet  wide,  capable  of  comfortably  accommodating  8,000  persons.  This 
is  nearly  twice  the  dimensions  of  the  largest  hall  in  the  United  States. 
This  fine  building  gives  75,000  square  feet  of  wall  space  for  paintings, 
and  20,000  square  feet  of  floor  space  for  statues,  &c.  The  skylights 
throughout  are  double,  the  upper  being  of  clear  glass  and  the  under 
of  ground  glass. 

MACHINERY  BUILDING. 

This  structure  is  located  about  550  feet  west  of  the  Main  Exhibition 
Building;  and,  as  its  north  front  stands  upon  the  same  line,  it  is  prac- 
tically a continuation  of  that  edifice,  the  two  together  presenting  a 
frontage  of  3,824  feet,  from  their  eastern  to  their  western  ends,  upon 
the  principal  avenue  within  the  grounds.  This  building  consists  of  a 
main  hall  1,402  feet  long,  and  360  feet  wide,  with  an  annex  on  the 
southern  side  208  feet  by  210  feet.  The  entire  area  covered  is  558,440 
square  feet,  or  nearly  I3'acres;  and  the  floor  space  afforded  is  about 
14  acres.  The  chief  portion  of  the  building  is  one  story  in 
height,  the  main  cornice  upon  the  outside  being  40  feet  from  the 
ground,  and  the  interior  height  to  the  top  of  the  ventilators  in  the 
avenues  70  feet,  and  in  the  aisles  40  feet.  To  break  the  long  lines  of 
the  exterior,  projections  have  been  introduced  upon  the  four  sides; 
and  the  main  entrances  are  finished  with  fa9ades  extending  to  78  feet 
in  height.  The  eastern  entrance  will  be  the  principal  approach  from 
railways  and  from  the  Main  Exhibition  Building.  Along  the  southern 
side  are  placed  the  boiler-houses,  and  such  other  buildings  for  special 
kinds  of  maehinery  as  may  be  required.  The  plan  of  the  Machinery 
Building  shows  two  main  avenues  90  feet  wide,  with  a central  aisle 
between,  and  an  aisle  on  either  side,  these  being  60  feet  in  width. 
These  avenues  and  aisles  together  have  360  feet  width,  and  each  of 
them  is  1,360  feet  long. 

This  Machinery  Building  has  very  superior  facilities  for  shafting, 
and  double  lines  will  be  introduced  into  each  avenue  and  aisle  at  a 


height  of  about  20  feet.  A Corliss  steam-engine  of  1,400  horse-power 
will  drive  the  main  shafting.  There  will  also  be  counter-lines  of 
shafting  in  the  aisles,  and  special  steam-power  furnished  where  neces- 
sary. Steam-power  is  to  be  furnished  fiec  to  exhibitors.  In  the 
annex  for  hydraulic  machines  there  is  a tank  60  feet  by  160  feet,  with 
10  feet  depth  of  water.  It  is  intended  to  exhibit  all  sorts  of 
hydraulic  machinery  in  full  operation  ; and  at  the  southern  end  of  the 
tank  there  will  be  a waterfall  35  feet  high  by  40  feet  wide,  supplied 
from  the  tank  by  the  pumps  on  exhibition. 

THE  AGRICULTURAL  BUILDING. 

This  building  will  illustrate  a novel  combination  of  materials, 
mainly  wood  and  glass,  and  will  consist  of  a long  nave  crossed  by 
three  transepts,  each  being  composed  of  truss-arches  of  Gothic  form. 
The  nave  will  be  S20  feet  long  by  125  feet  in  width,  with  a height  of 
75  feet  from  the  floor  to  the  point  of  the  arch.  The  central  transept 
will  be  100  feet  wide  and  75  feet  high,  and  the  two  end  transepts  80 
feet  wide  and  70  feet  high.  Its  interior  appearance  will  resemble 
that  of  a great  cathedral;  and,  in  looking  from  transept  to  transept, 
the  vista  will  be  extremely  imposing.  A portion  of  this  building  will 
be  supplied  with  steam-power  for  the  use  of  agricultural  machinery. 
The  four  courts  enclosed  by  the  nave  and  transepts,  and  also  the  four 
spaces  at  the  corners  of  the  building,  having  the  nave  and  end 
transepts  for  two  of  their  sides,  are  to  be  roofed,  and  will  form  valua- 
ble spaces  for  exhibits.  The  ground  plan  of  the  building  is  a paral- 
lelogram 540  feet  by  820  feet,  covering  about  10J  acres. 

HORTICULTURAL  BUILDING. 

The  city  of  Philadelphia  made  a liberal  grant  of  money  to  provide 
for  the  horticultural  department  of  the  Exhibition  an  extremely 
ornate  and  commodious  building,  which  is  designed  to  remain  in 
permanence  as  an  ornament  of  Fairinount  Parle.  This  building  is 
designed  in  the  Moresque  style  of  architecture  of  the  twelfth  century, 
the  chief  materials  externally  being  iron  and  glass,  supported  by 
fine  marble  and  brickwork  The  building  is  3S3  feet  long,  193  feet 
wide,  and  72  feet  high  to  the  top  of  the  lantern.  Tire  main  floor  is 
occupied  by  the  central  conservatory,  230  feet  by  80  feet,  and  55  feet 
high,  surmounted  by  a lantern  170  feet  long,  20  feet  wide,  and  14  feet 


high.  Running  entirely  around  this  conservatory,  at  a height  of  20 
feet  from  the  floor,  is  a gallery  5 feet  wide.  On  the  north  and  south 
sides  of  this  principal  room  are  four  forcing-houses  for  the  propaga- 
tion of  young  plants,  each  of  them  100  feet  by  30  feet,  and  covered  by 
curved  roofs  of  iron  and  glass,  which,  appearing  upon  the  exterior  of 
the  building,  present  a very  fine  feature.  A vestibule  30  feet  square 
separates  the  two  forcing-houses  on  each  side;  and  there  are  similar 
vestibules  at  the  centre  of  the  east  and  west  ends,  on  either  side  of 
which  are  apartments  for  restaurants,  reception-rooms,  offices,  &c. 
The  east  and  west  entrances  to  the  Horticultural  Building  are 
approached  by  flights  of  blue  marble  steps,  from  terraces  80  feet  by 
20  feet,  in  the  centre  of  each  of  which  stands  an  open  kiosk  20  feet 
in  diameter.  Each  entrance  is  beautified  by  ornamental  tile  and 
marble  work;  and  the  angles  of  the  main  conservatory  are  to  be 
adorned  with  eight  attractive  fountains.  Extensive  heating  arrange- 
ments are  provided  in  the  basement,  which  is  of  fireproof  construc- 
tion. 

Surrounding  this  building  there  are  thirty-five  acres  of  ground, 
which  will  be  devoted  to  horticultural  purposes.
